Bataan, Philippines. Japanese advance up and around Mount Samat. General Parker (US II Corps commander) sends in his reserve, to prevent Japanese control of artillery positions on Mount Samat that dominate the entire Orion-Bagac line. However, most men in the US 31st Regiment are too sick from malaria or dysentery to march into position. MacArthur, from Australia and out of touch with the realities of the situation, orders General Wainwright (Allied commander in the Philippines) that “under no conditions should Bataan be surrendered – any action is preferable to capitulation”.
